Rack gear - eight

“I would come out of a BAE 1073 mic pre – Steven Tyler recorded with a Neuman U47 and a U48 – and split the signal into two separate compression chains, the top and the bottom. I parallel compressed, which means that the softer words were compressed with the top chain, and the harsher stuff went through the bottom, on which the thresholds were set a little higher. That was molded back into one input.”
